On 9/8/2018 at approx. 5:41 pm: An adult man and two teenagers entered the Shell petrol station at 201 Auburn Way South in Auburn. One of the teens grabbed what seems to be a pepperoni stick from the counter and starts eating it. He catches a second and gives it to the other teenager. The adult male then comes to the counter to buy an item. It seems that the clerk is trying to charge the adult for pepperoni sticks and a hassle ensues. The employee received a ticket from one of the teenagers. The employee gets upset and approaches teens and starts talking to them. After discussing with them, the clerk, with the bank note still in hand, turns to return to the register area and immediately appears to have a major medical problem and collapses on the floor.
One of the teenagers gets down and brings the bank note back to the clerk while he is on the floor. The adult male then leaves the store.
While the employee is unconscious ground, the two teenagers go out and enter the store a few times to steal merchandise and take all the money out of the cash register.
While the clerk died, none of the three subjects who saw him fall on the floor asked for help.
